'Sarah Palin's Alaska' Season Two Looks Likely

By Rob Shuter Posted Dec 21st 2010 01:29PM

She's back ... 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' is such a huge hit for TLC that the network is busy trying to get the former governor to sign up for season two.

"3.066 million people turned in last week to see her episode with Kate Gosselin," a TLC insider tells me. "That is more people than are watching Bravo's 'Housewives' series or most other cable shows. For sure the network is doing everything it possibly can to convince Sarah to do another season, but at the end of the day it looks like it will all come down to money."

Sarah, who is reportedly making more than $250,000 per episode for the eight-week series, is no fool -- when the show debuted to over 4.96 million viewers, insiders tell me she started talking about a new deal right away.

"Sarah knows to strike when the iron is hot and started talking about season two right after the show debuted to huge numbers," a friend of Palin tells me. "She knows that celebrities get millions of dollar for each episode of their shows and thinks she's worth it too. Jennifer Aniston took home millions from 'Friends' and in Sarah's eyes, she's no different."

Now before we get carried away, Sarah must remember 'Friends' delivered way more than 4.96 million a week. Still, she does have a point. One TV expert told me if Palin plays her cards right, it would not be impossible for her to get $1 million an episode for a second season.

You are too funny.... way too funny. Just go back into your hole and try to be quiet. Don't like Palin?... she's not asking you to like her. Don't like her show? She doesn't need you to watch that either.

I did watch one episode of this show... Alaska is a beautiful state. But.... listening to her speak thru the show, was like nails on a chalkboard... Could not handle that.. Will not watch again..

I can understand your pain. Every time I hear Obama speak, he reminds me of that gopher in Winne the Pooh, the way he whistles his S's.

Ssssay, you ought to do sssomething about that ssspeech impediment, sssonny.

ROFL, really? According to FAUX news I'm sure. Wow, the standards for credible and intelligent entertainment have hit an all time low. TLC is just scrapping the bottom with this chick. No wonder the Roloffs are wrapping it up.

Great, I love her conservative and family values. Oh, but I bet left wing liberal hollywood is crying a river. Is there somthing Opra can do?

By Marcia

We like the show. Love the way she and her family interact, plus seeing beautiful Alaska is great. Good for her. Hope she makes more millions, which will just drive the Libs nuts. LOL

If you like the way Sarah Palin interacts with her kids, you should visit any slum in America. They're TRASH, face it. The interaction between Sarah and her kids shows what kind of a mother she is. It'a all about the camera and showing off. They are VERY disrespectful brats to their mother and to the public in general. But how could they respect a mother who lies about others, fights with anyone and everyone for attention and spends 9/10 of her time away from her challenged baby and expects her poor old mother to babysit him. Shame on that TWIT.

Agreed, it's definitely a notch or two above most evening shows, about 20 notches above the biased trash on the Cable "News" Network or related "news entertainment" channels such as MSNBC and others. I could stand to see less of her interacting with her family, just bring Alaska to the "lower 48" aince it's the real star of the show!

By Heyes

This twit thinks shes as good as Anniston?.... Is she wrong!!.. Anniston is a very attractive and smart woman... Palin is the opposite. Good news theres only 3 million morons in country...

By Keen Observer

AND ALL THREE MILLION ARE OBAMA AND HIS IDIOT LIB FOLLOWERS

By exnyorker

It is worth every penny to keep her busy in Alaska and far away from the White House.

I heard she is moving to Arizona. Maybe her second season could be Sarah Palin's Arizona. Alaskans do not like Sarah Palin. She is so phoney and her children have and are suffering because of her neglect.

By Gina

What a conundrum! How will Sarah manage both a reality TV show and the demands of a Presidential campaign?
